PUT ON THE BRAKES: I can't stand the way people drive around the Bartlett School, I just saw a red PT Cruiser blow through a stop sign and speed through turns onto Bowers Street. I want the city to add speed bumps or a speed trap there.

STURDIER STALK: We had the best vegetables when I was growing up; they weren't full of toxins and didn't look rotten like the ones today. These vegetables look sick.

MARATHON COURSE: In my 20s and early 30s I went to every Boston Marathon. I am now in my 60s and haven't gone for years. After last Monday's events, I am promising myself to go every year from now on. Forget about these terrorists.

NO CLASS: It was great to see Dick Cheney at Margaret Thatcher's funeral the other day. It was also very predictable how the White House showed its class and sent no one to represent us.

Lowell

TRASH CAN'T: I don't understand why some of these houses in the city don't have to recycle. Why can't we make them recycle?

Lowell

GUN SHY: I can't believe the U.S. Senate couldn't pass the bill to expand background checks for gun purchases. This would only affect people who shouldn't be buying guns in the first place. How is this infringing on citizens' rights?
